Abstract: An apparatus for collecting leaves includes a mobile carrier and a leaf raking mechanism, hollow chute, blower unit and exhaust duct on the mobile carrier. The mobile carrier is movable forwardly over a surface during performance of leaf collection operations. Forced air flow produced by the blower unit is directed through the hollow chute from a rear end to a front end thereof past the leaf raking mechanism so as to create a vacuum effect in the hollow chute that assists the leaf raking mechanism in gathering leaves from the surface and delivering the leaves into the hollow chute where the leaves become entrained in the forced air flow directed to and through an outlet of the hollow chute and through the open top of a leaf collection bag, and into the bag, being disposed below the outlet of the hollow chute.

Abstract: A power gasket scraper with cordless capability (12) for ease of maneuverability, work in confined spaces, and reduced time for completion of surface preparation. LED light (1) to illuminate work area, interchangeable attachments (FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) for different surfaces to be removed or cleaned, spring release (2) with 15° roll on spring blade clamp for attachments, stationary or interchangeable rechargeable battery (11) with button release (16). A variable speed option (4,5) gives the user the ability to control different intensities of oscillation with minimal physical exertion, while a locking trigger switch (18) can maintain a constant speed when desired. A non-slip rubber coating is applied for stability and safety (15).
